It is not recommended to consume mahogany seeds as they are toxic, containing alkaloids that can be harmful if ingested. It's best to avoid consuming them altogether.
Mahogany is not actually a monocot; it belongs to the dicot group of flowering plants. Monocots typically have one seed leaf (cotyledon), parallel leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of three, while dicots, like mahogany, have two seed leaves, branched leaf venation, and flower parts in multiples of four or five. Mahogany trees are known for their hardwood and are classified under the family Meliaceae, which is characteristic of dicots.
Mahogany seeds are generally not considered edible and can be toxic if consumed. They contain compounds that may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or other adverse effects. It's best to avoid eating mahogany seeds and stick to known edible seeds for safety.
To crack open a peach seed, you can use a nutcracker or a hammer to carefully apply pressure until the seed cracks open. Be cautious not to damage the seed inside.
All mahogany trees were seeds at one time. They are tropical trees and can not tolerate freezing conditions. They do not live in deserts. So if you have the right climate, you can produce your tree.

The mahogany glider does not actually live in the rainforest. It prefers lowland sclerophyll forest which is relatively open bushland, primarily eucalyptus. The mahogany glider inhabits the canopy and sub-canopy of this bushland. However, it has also been found in lower levels of open bush around swampland.
Seed pods from mahogany trees should be harvested once they turn brown, harden, and crack. Harvested seeds should only be taken while still on the trees, not from the ground.
